Potential underpinning material for LTCs digital engagement strategy development?? -
useful staring point for materials on Transliteracies

"A city-wide experiment in social media <www.amplifiedleicester.com > Amplified individuals use social media and the web to enhance their abilities to sense their world, create shared resources and act collaboratively"
Not sure how far this has progressed yet but it looks interesting – variant on hyperlocal apart from anything else?

"At the heart of Social Technographics is consumer data that looks at how consumers approach social technologies – not just the adoption of individual technologies. We group consumers into six different categories of participation – and participation at one level may or may not overlap with participation at other levels. We use the metaphor of a ladder to show this, with the rungs at the higher end of the ladder indicating a higher level of participation." NB publ 2007

A good resume of available evidence, and makes the point that information is not enough by itself – the skills needed (health literacy), and the (educational) context within which choices are made, are crucial. Huzzah…!!

Campaigner's Handbook from C4 – another good source for seeing if the glove can be pulled inside out, and one's own best interests (health) can be made the focus of a 'campaign'

"Holly Shaw’s mastery of social networking helped her create a nationwide campaign for organ donations". Useful worked example of use of web-enabled engagement.

What it says on the tin really – besides being a continuation of the Glasgow SI Camp spirit.

Useful discussion of team process involved in considering an idea and translating it into a proposal that can then be considered for possible funding and support – incl handy diagram. Surely some of this is eminently plagiarisable for Angelfish processes?!

useful discussion of digital business models, incl further reading, a list, and commentary of current Scottish stirrings

Don't know how this is done, but this looks like the Twitter equiv of a circulation list! Presumably it could be developed so you could fire in another hashtag, for another community. Startlingly good

I'm not sure quite what I think about this at some levels – a lot of it seems dimly to be about the business of being agreeable to 'individuals of high net worth' (a.k.a the rich) in order to help them with their philanthropy.

BUT there are lots of aspects of their model(s) and their processes, as evidenced here on the site, that angelfish should examine carefully and pick up on.
